In a statement the group says it is inviting clergy of “every stripe to come garbed and keep a circle of protection for those more vulnerable, as well as holding space for our remembrance. People of privilege, we invite you to come listen and stand on the line between police and unhoused people, displaced people, and people of color.”

Detectives Seeking Leads in Drive By Shooting

Gang unit detectives are still investigating the case of a man shot in the Rainier Beach neighborhood last Wednesday night.

Police say witnesses began calling 911 just after 8 p.m. after hearing shots fired near Rainier Avenue South and Seward Park Avenue South. When officers arrived they found a 34-year-old man at a bus stop with a gunshot wound to the leg. Officers provided the man with first aid until Seattle Fire Department medics took him to Harborview Medical Center for treatment.

Detectives are asking anyone with any information on the case to please call the non-emergency line at (206)625-5011 and request to speak with an officer.
